It's a small dining room in what seems to be an old Taco Bell. For lunch two of us had tacos, a tostada, chips & salsa. I've had more flavorful Mexican food but this was fine. Great service at the counter was a plus. All up it was twenty bucks for lunch with a couple of drinks. read more

This is a cute but basic place inside. The service is super friendly and everything is homemade. We particularly liked the horchata and the (homemade!) pork tamale. Two adults meals, one child meal, one horchata and one tamale 60 bucks. This place was surprisingly good. read more

idk what happened to this place it used to be a favorite. We ordered taco dinner nothing special it took 30 mins. Not to mention they didn't have the heat on and we froze the entire time we sat there. Food finally came out and the beans were cold? We waites 30 mins why is the food cold? I have the gene that makes cilantro taste Like soap so I order lettuce and cheese and it is a major up charge for some shredded lettuce and cheese?? 50 dollars for 2 taco dinners that were mediocre at best. such a shame. read more

Best carnitas tacos in the area! Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, clean, open seating area. Food was bland. I had the taco dinner with one chicken taco, one pastor & one ground beef. Very little flavor even in the rice & beans. The salsa is good though. Overall a little disappointing. read more

Service was great got two steak tacos, the first time coming to this place will definitely have to come back and staff was friendly salsa was spicy but good flavor read more

Came to try this place for the first time and I saw it had good reviews. I arrived and the place looks okay outside came inside and the menu is a white board pretty dirty and you can't really read what comes included or inside the food you order. It seems like the husband and wife run the place with another worker. The lady seemed to be in a bad mood when I ordered and helping customers out. You have to order before you sit down and eat. The salsas green and red are super runny and lack flavors. The horchata water was good. The best taco here was the lomo other than that everything else was horrible. The steak taco was half chunks of fat and meat, chorizo has a horrible taste, the Al pastor meat has no flavor so when you bite into it it is sweet from the pineapple chunks chopped in with the meat. I do not recommend anything other than the lomo and make sure you ask for limes because they don't give them with the tacos. read more

I had a steak burrito that was amazing and exceeded my expectations. It was fairly priced and made fresh with good ingredients. The service was good and I had no complaints about that. The restaurant is very cute and quaint and has a loving feel to it. Definitely want to go back and try other menu items. I'd bet they are just as delicious or better. read more

Using a bookmark because I was near. We experienced fast & friendly service. I ordered ribeye & regular steak tacos. My meat had no charring or seasoning color. The tacos were under cooked and not seasoned at all. They were plentiful with veggies, but lacked with the meat! The facility was clean, but I would not return. read more

Had my favorite veggie burrito tonight with a Mexican Coke, homemade chips (the best ever) and fresh salsa. Great!

Food quality is high compared to most authentic mexican places. Not my favorite salsa, but still good. The burritos and spicy enchiladas are my favorite in the area. Great ma & pa place. read more

Great service. Great food, and freshly made tortilla chips and salsa. Defintley will be back

Homey, family-run, authentic Tex-Mex! Having grown up in Phoenix, impressed to find tasty tacos in Wheaton. Lots of meat in the asada and al pastor tacos, though the al pastor could use a bit more flavor. Tacos range from $2.49-$2.79, quite the steal. Sadly they ran out of the lengua, but will be back! Like the house salsa, fresh. Steak fajitas was a nice portion, comes with fresh tortillas, lettuce/tomato, rice and beans. Warm, fast service, friendly owners. Also does delivery and catering. Recommend stopping by for a tasty snack or a warm meal! read more

Mi Casa has ruined me for all other Mexican food. It's the barometer for all other restaurants. Texas? Nope. Asheville? Pass. Vegas? New Orleans? No and no. When we travel and get Mexican food, I always have to reset at mi casa when I get home. Always reliable, fresh, and delicious and the most beautiful pork Al pastor you'll ever have. The people are lovely. The guacamole is chunky. And it's easily our favorite restaurant in the area. read more

My husband and I went house hunting last weekend. For me, house hunting triggers cravings that come in waves. First, it was pancakes. Next, it was Dairy Queen's Butterscotch Dip Cone. Then, Mexican food. Just down the street from the last house we looked at was Mi Casa. When we drove by it, on the way to the last house, my husband said it looked like a renovated Taco Bell. While I should have been looking at one of the half baths in the last house, I was actually looking at Yelp and discovered the good reviews, so we gave it a try. When we walked in, it was clear that there were not enough tables. There were three tables inside what was the shell of a fast food place. The owner quickly greeted us and pulled two chairs up to the counter (where you would order at a McDonald's) and gave us menus. More people came in, so the owner and a server went outside to grab patio furniture for people to sit on. Now, this probably should have been bad sign or a turn off or something else negative, but it was oddly charming. We had a perfect view into the kitchen where everything was prepared to order. A very fast working female chef kept things afloat as more and more people came in. We ordered chorizo, marinated pork, and chicken tacos. To be blunt: every taco was fantastic. Really. Also, cheap. Well-priced, very good food is surprising to find sometimes and this restaurant surprised me. You should go, just not on a Sunday afternoon, unless you time it just right to get the "chef's table". read more

Little hidden gem next the Wheaton Fire Station on Main Street. I have been here twice and it's not a fluke...amazing tacos! Ordered a cheese quesadilla...yes a quesadilla, don't mock as it was crazy good. The cheese had a bit of a sour/salty bite. It was served with a dollop of sour cream and some lettuce n tomato chunks. Next were the tacos. The steak taco had a ton of flavor and piled in the taco with fresh cilantro and chopped onion. Then came the pork and chicken tacos. The taste of these were also just as fabulous. They are served simple in a basket. The fillings are piled on two small corn tortillas. The restaurant is very small and family run with a handful of tables. Be aware that this is not fast food service and could almost seem like a longer wait....but good things come to those who wait! read more

Its my pleasure to update my previous review of Mi Casa. I have been here three times now. First was the grand opening day which I previously reviewed. My wife and I visited again last night. We decided to give it another try after our super picky sister-in-law visited and said it was good. She doesn't like anything normally. The place was really busy to my surprise. A good sign from the start. I also noticed that the place had a new front sign and the interior was upgraded since our original visits. They had a lot of people working which indicated to me that business was doing well. The sister-in-law had recommended their steak tacos which the wife decided to partake in. The meat was surprisingly tender, the shell was authentic corn tortilla and she thought it was great! I tasted it and agreed. I wanted to re-try what I had previously had to see if there was any improvement. There was. I had the chicken burrito. It was tender, juicy and very flavorful. The tortilla was grilled after the burrito was made for a nice finish. The chicken was shredded which I normally do no prefer. But this made the opportunity for the spices to penetrate the meat better and it worked. I did find the pricing to be just a little on the high side. They also give you free chips and salsa while waiting for your carry out order. Nice touch. I am happy to have another good place to eat nearby. This goes back on my list! read more

Food was way overpriced, food was also not the best, definitely wouldn't recommend coming here way better places elsewhere for a better price and quality read more

The steak tacos are my absolute favorite! I always get the dinner! The rice is always so tasty! Beautiful family ran business.

Mi Casa is a stand alone Mexican restaurant located right off Main St in Wheaton. The building is hard to miss based on its Spanish design. The staff was friendly and orders are placed at the counter. The prices are on the higher end for fast mexican food in the area. I had an Al Pastor Torta. The Torta was good though I'd like to see avocado included at this price range. When dining in they give a very small amount of chips and salsa, most other places in the area give a much larger portion. The red and green hot sauces were pretty good. read more

Family owned with wonderful, authentic and tasty food. Small and cozy. Quick service. We go there often. Never disappointed.

5 stars if they have coffee. So bring your own from Starbucks or the Shell gas station up the street and you are all set. They sell Coke products to drink too. The food is great. The place is squeaky clean and the service is fantastic! Enjoy. read more

Truly an authentic Mexican food experience, love the atmosphere in here. Burritos are great and unique

There are a ton of Mexican restaurants in this area, but this is a wonderful place to go if you are looking for a quick delicious meal. The tacos, burritos, and the guac are all exceptional. Personally, the asada burrito is my favorite, but I have heard the al pastor is wonderful. The beans and rice are also delicious. The beans are nice and creamy, with just the right amount of cheese on them. They also have a variety of salsa - all of which are good. The reason this place stands out above others, is the family atmosphere. The restaurant is completely ran by a wonderful family and they make sure to make everyone's experience wonderful. read more

Love this place! Trust me this is the jam. I have there carne asada tacos, horchata, or some sort of burrito. I've been here three times in the last three weeks and I've not been disappointed. Also, their guacamole is legit! Go ahead and splurge you won't regret it. PS: you know it's good when you forget to take pictures once the food arrives :-) read more

One of our favorite places to get a delicious burrito and some chips and guac! The perfect carry out to watch the Bulls games with!

It's been a few months since I originally visited Mi Casa Restaurant and figured I'd give it an update after a revisit. After a pair of other yelpers implored me to revisit this establishment. One afternoon I decided to stop by again, this time with a taco on the agenda instead of the torta I purchased on my previous visit. I ordered one steak taco and one al pastor taco to go. While I waited, service remained very friendly as mentioned on my previous visit and who I presume is the owner brought me out some chips and salsa to munch on while I waited for my tacos. The chips were good, the salsa had a strange taste to it, quite frankly it reminded me of the aftertaste left in your mouth after kissing a girl who smokes. I had a few chips and waited for my food to arrive. While waiting I snapped a picture of some particularly nasty construction outside that required me to basically go in a circle to actually reach the restaurant Once my food was ready I was out the door and on my way home. The big question here is how were the tacos? Well, they were pretty good, there was a definite emphasis on cilantro and that was a far more noticeable flavor than the meat on the taco. The meats were both tasty and the tortillo used for the taco was nice and soft. Overall the Taco was a significant improvement over the torta I had on my first visit. Overall I was impressed enough with the taco to upgrade Mi Casa by one star to three stars. I'd recommend the tacos, but would advise to stay away from the torta or the salsa that comes with the chips. Service here is very friendly and I would stop again but it's not exactly my favorite Mexican restaurant either. read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - Construction - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

After my most recent trip to Mi Casa, I was very frustrated. You see, I've been meaning to come here for the past few months, but for some reason, I never did. HUGE MISTAKE! As other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant is only accessible driving North on Main Street due to construction. Anyways, this place occupies an old Taco Bell space. I wasn't a huge fan, but it was nice to have the option (I live right around the block). My previous favorite taco restaurante, taco fresco has been closed for quite some time now. Yes, there are Chipotles and Qdobas in the area, but I wanted something more, and boy did I get it! My brother and I met for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. I also work in the area, so I took my lunch break to get some tacos and quesadillas. After reading reviews and doing some research, we knew that everything was cooked to order and would take sometime. He put our orders in, and our food arrived in 10-15 minutes, right when I got off for my lunch. We each had 3 tacos and a small quesadilla. All were made with fresh corn tortillas (by request). I had a steak, chorizo, and pork taco, along with the Mi Casa Style (Adobo) chicken quesadilla. My brother had 2 pork items, as well as the ribeye taco. All the tacos were topped with cilantro and onions (authentic). The young boy (son of the owner) gave us two bottles of the homemade salsa (red; more bitter and green: sweeter and spicier in my opinion, and I also liked it more). The tacos were excellent, especially the steak and chorizo ones. They did not even need any salsa with their flavors. I really enjoyed the chicken quesadilla with mini salad it came with (sour cream, tomato, and lettuce). I liked the pork, but I think I will get the Al Pastor next time. The owner was extremely friendly and made sure we were taken care of. This is authentic Mexican food, and I'm surprised to see the subpar reviews. I've been tracking Mi Casa for a while, and it seems like the reviews have been getting progressively better. If you went to Mi Casa a while ago and weren't impressed, I highly suggested going back. Our total for our 8 items was 18 dollars. We have big appetites, but I thought the price was very reasonable. I'd really like to see Mi Casa succeed. It looks like they cater, so if I have any type of event (doubtful for me), I would use them. A family owned business that is doing MEXICAN food right! My favorite part of the visit, besides the amazing food? The owner telling us, " Mi Casa es su Casa." Yeah, we all learned that phrase in Spanish 1, but contextually, it gave me chills. Can't wait to return! read more

We still like the place, we've been there 14 or 15 times. The owners are terrific, friendly and helpful. Good prices. But the taco's aren't as flavorful as they should be. The steak lacks char and my wife and I have both been having a hard time distinguishing between the Carnitas and the Chicken. FYI: The unisex bathroom is is around back, (Door is outside) read more

The food is outstanding here. Authentic Mexican with fresh ingredients and a great family friendly staff. The food is very well priced for the quality. You may wait a little while for your food. This is not a quick take out place!!!!! But it is worth the wait! Mi casa is busy during the eating times so plan accordingly. They take phone orders as well. I waited a long time for a burrito dinner for take out during the dinner hour and so were 10 other people! They noticed the long wait and gave everyone complimentary chips and salsa. So kind! read more

This place usually has really good food, love their guacamole. Today I went there and they have a sign up asking customers to wear a mask, I've got mine but everybody working there didn't have a mask. WEAR A MASK PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE PREPARING OR WORKING WITH FOOD. read more

Must try hole in the wall Mexican place... It is like being served by your family and we really enjoyed eating in. Everybody was really nice - they brought our food to us - and cleaned up and you could tell they were just happy to serve us delicious food. We tried the horchata, it was really yummy and they give free refills and at 1.50 a glass we will get two next time. Next we each had a steak taco and an al pastor taco I though the meat was super flavorful - both were served mexican style with onion and cilantro, which is my preference. Then they brought out salsa's in squeeze bottles and it took the tacos to the next level - one of them is sort of dark looking and is smoky/spicy - try it! Then we had a quesadilla with poblano peppers... I have never had a quesadilla made with grilled poblanos before and it might have been my favorite quesadilla ever (especially with the salsa mentioned above and/or the pico they put on the plate). For us the service was well paced but some of our friends think they are slow - we will see how it plays out over time but we were happy to relax while our delicious food was made. read more
